Donald Trump ’s recent McDonald's stop, where he worked the fry station , quickly turned into a meme sensation across social media. As he playfully fried and served French fries, the internet couldn't resist poking fun, creating a flurry of jokes, memes, and comments on how natural he looked behind the counter.
One popular joke emerged from Trump’s interaction with the fries, where he appeared delighted at the process, jokingly claiming he didn't even need to touch them with his hands. Social media jumped on this, with users sharing images of Trump carefully maneuvering fries, adding captions about him discovering new "presidential" skills. Tweets like one from @iohndee jokingly imagined Trump saying, "Who knew I had a backup career in case this politics thing doesn’t work out?" Another post by @LokiJulianus humorously speculated that Trump’s time at the fry station had exceeded Kamala Harris ’ entire stint at McDonald’s in her college years, a playful dig at the Democratic nominee.
The memes went further, with many users commenting on how surprisingly comfortable Trump seemed working the fry station. One post joked that he looked more at home there than at some formal political engagements, while others highlighted his apron-wearing moment, calling it his new campaign look. Some compared his actions to scenes from The Apprentice, suggesting Trump was about to “fire” someone for not salting the fries correctly.
Adding to the fun, @AutismCapital shared a meme of Trump at the drive-thru window, acting as if he was holding an impromptu press conference, saying, "Next on the menu: Trump's solution to the economy, straight from the McDonald's window!" This playful take on Trump mixing fast food with politics garnered a lot of attention.
@DrunkRepub added fuel to the meme fire, with a video clip showing Trump at the fry station captioned, “I’m lovin’ it! Watch out, Ronald McDonald!” The playful spirit of the tweet was accompanied by hundreds of comments that riffed on the idea of Trump becoming the new face of the fast-food chain.
Another viral tweet came from @BridgetPhetasy, who humorously captioned a photo of Trump with a fry basket, saying, “When you realise flipping burgers at McDonald's wasn’t the worst job you could’ve had in 2024.” The tweet perfectly captured the lightheartedness surrounding the event, blending humour and political commentary.
Beyond the jokes, some memes took on a more critical tone. @ElectionLegal posted a mock picture of Trump with McDonald's fries, paired with a caption that speculated about Trump dodging questions on minimum wage increases while praising the fast-food staff for their hard work. This contrasted Trump’s playful persona at McDonald's with real policy concerns.
In the end, the combination of Trump’s natural ease at the fry station, his lighthearted jokes, and the internet’s quick wit created a viral moment that stretched far beyond a mere campaign stop . Whether people were laughing at his antics, enjoying the memes, or critically reflecting on his policies, Trump’s McDonald's visit demonstrated his unique ability to turn even the most mundane events into a social media spectacle. The memes and jokes from this event, blending humour and politics, are yet another example of how Trump’s larger-than-life persona continues to dominate online discourse.
